2008 Carlton Football Club Season
The 2008 AFL season was the 112th season in the Australian Football League to be contested by the Carlton Football Club.
The club saw many changes to key personnel in 2008, with West Coast champion Chris Judd coming to the club as a new captain, former club captain Brett Ratten appointed senior coach, and Stephen Kernahan replacing Richard Pratt as president at midseason.
Carlton finished 11th out of 16 teams with ten wins and twelve losses. Although this did not result in a finals appearance, the season marked the end of one of the least successful periods in club history, which had seen five finishes in the bottom two between 2002–2007.

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
